Brody Jenner: Broken Finger Not LC's Fault!

Contrary to previous reports that Lauren Conrad broke his finger, Brody Jenner assures Us Weekly that the incident, while painful, was completely LC-free.

Jenner reports that while playing tackle football on the beach Thursday, his ring finger got caught in a fellow player's belt and broke.

"The bone just snapped and the tendon shot up into my wrist," Brody Jenner says. "[Lauren Conrad] had nothing to do with it breaking."

Brody and Lauren remain close, but "just friends."

Jenner, who says he and LC recently reconnected their once-fractured friendship but remain platonic, underwent surgery Monday to repair the tendon and is now in a cast.

Doctors have told Brody Jenner, 23, that it will take at least eight weeks for the tendon to heal. Fortunately, his life consists of being good looking, going to the hottest clubs and having a great time, so this injury shouldn't set him back too badly.

Luckily for fans of The Hills, a show source says that the entire accident was caught on tape. That will make for some good drama come September!

Someone with a great sense of humor is the most important thing, and someone who really supports me in everything I do... I donâ€™t ever want to make an excuse for trying to work hard and having my own life. I love a guy that supports that and loves that.
